Walking through shotengai: How did this escalate

Written by Elma Joui on Mon Mar 25 2024

I had been strolling through the bustling shotengai, my eyes scanning for any delicious treats that caught my attention. The scents of various foods wafted through the air, tempting me at every turn. As a lover of food, I couldn't resist exploring all the culinary delights this place had to offer.

Accidental Encounter

Suddenly, in the midst of my food-filled reverie, I bumped into none other than Tohru. Our rivalry was well-known amongst our friends and it seemed fate had brought us together once again. A small conflict erupted between us as usual, with Tohru boasting about her cooking skills and me defending the honor of human cuisine.

Gyoza Showdown

Before we knew it, our argument had escalated into a full-blown gyoza-eating competition right there in the middle of shotengai. Plates upon plates of steaming hot dumplings were placed before us as we raced to see who could devour them faster. The onlookers cheered and gasped as they witnessed our voracious appetites in action.

To everyone's surprise (but not mine), I easily outpaced Tohru in consuming gyoza after gyoza. My love for food fueled me like never before and each bite only spurred me on further. As I triumphantly finished off my last dumpling with a satisfied sigh, Tohru looked on with envy clear in her eyes.

Jealousy Looms

It was evident that she was jealous of my victory but instead chose to mask it behind a forced smile. Deep down inside though, she couldn't handle being bested by someone she deemed inferior when it came to matters of eating prowess.

As we parted ways after our impromptu competition ended (with me emerging victorious once again), I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction at proving myself yet again against Tohru's arrogance and prideful nature.

In conclusion...walking through shotengai may have started innocently enough for Elma Joui but when faced with an unexpected encounter with her rival Tohru - things quickly spiraled into an epic battle for gastronomic supremacy that left one dragon feeling bitter defeat while another reveled in sweet victory!
